The basic unit of most fungi is the hypha (plural: hyphae), Hyphae are long chitinous tubes that separate the cytoplasm from the rest of the environment. Hyphae may be reinforced cross walls known as septa (singular: septum). Networks of hyphae form web-like structures known as mycelium. The kingdom of fungi. This kingdom is composed of heterotrophic organisms, because they feed themselves absorbing organic matter from the environment. Fungi produce molecules, the so-called digestive enzymes, which are used to degrade the organic matter so that it can be absorbed. 1. Basidiomycota - the club fungi including mushrooms and boletes Examples include Agaricus, the common edible button mushroom. 2. Ascomycota - the cup or sac fungi Examples include morels (Morchella) and baker s yeast (Saccharomyces). 3. Zygomyco the taxonomic kingdom including yeast, molds, smuts, mushrooms, and toadstools; distinct from the green plants.

Kingdom Fungi (the true fungi) is a monophyletic group of eukaryotic heterotrophs that reproduce with spores and have chitinous cell walls. The most familiar fungi are kitchen molds and mushrooms. The kingdom may include 1.5 million species, of which about 80,000 species have been named and described. 2. Some fungi destroy crops and stored Hidden from sight is the Kingdom of Fungi that rules life on land. It's an alien world with the largest and oldest organisms alive today. The kingdom Fungi is a diverse clade of heterotrophic organisms that shares some characters with animals such as chitinous structures, storage of glycogen, and mitochondrial codon UGA encoding tryptophan. Both animals and fungi have spores or gametes with a single smooth, posteriorly inserted flagellum, but only species of the basal chytrid The Fungi Kingdom.
